| Additional information |
Aineia was a small Macedonian coastal settlement whose coins are scarce enough that the entire civic output barely fills a drawer. The city claimed descent from Aeneas himself — the name is the giveaway — and leveraged that Trojan lineage aggressively in its iconographic program during the fourth century, when such mythological pedigrees carried genuine political currency among competing Macedonian towns.
HGC 3.1#374 is among the rarer tetradrachm types from the northern Aegean periphery, with recorded specimens numbering in the low dozens.
